Actually I have done the LCA bushing removal without a press. Been awhile but get the largest size threaded rod that fits through the LCA bushing, some pipe nipples the inner LCA bushing can be pushed into, then a pipe reducer bushing of some kind to step that into or a pipe cap with a hole for the threaded rod to pass through, an assortment of washers and nuts.

You can push the old center of the bushing out like that with an impact. If I stumble upon this in my toolbox I will post a picture of it.

This will leave the original LCA bushing shell in the LCA if you do it right. If your replacing with OEM rubber LCA bushing then you can bend the shell of the bushing in with some chisels and a persuader.

Don't let not having a press intimidate you.



Too bad I don't have threaded rod, pipe nipples ( ), a pipe reducer bushing, or an impact.

They're not rubber bushing. They're Hotchkis' polyurethane bushings.
